Hi guys,

I just finished a new building with the following config,

ASRock Steel legend X570
AMD Ryzen 5 3600
ASRock Radeon RX580 phantom gaming
Seagate FireCuda 520 500 GB
G. Skill DDR4-3600 16GB X 2 (A2 + B2 slots) F4-3600C19D-32GSXWB
Barracuda HDD 2TB ST2000DM008
GAMEMAX VP-Series GP-650 (650W)

Everything seems to be in place, I tried to boot it for the very first time and there is no signal on the screen RGB lighting and fans are on, all 4 leds turn on an off for a few seconds, then only CPU and VGA leds still on after several minutes. Where would you start to diagnose the problem?

Thanks

Vic
 
Solution
Did you connect the monitor to the GPU and not the motherboard ports?

check all power connections (GPU/PCIe, CPU/EPS 8pin)

reset the BIOS by jumper

install the GPU into the other PCIe slot

use only minimum config to test:
only motherboard, CPU with cooler, PSU, one RAM in A2, GPU, monitor connected to GPU

Hi mate,

Thanks for your quick reply.

  1. HDMI cable is connected to GPU
  2. All connections were disconnected and reconnected.
  3. BIOS was reset
  4. GPU was connected on PCIe #4
  5. Used minimum test with only one RAM DDR4 in A2

All steps were made one by one and the only change is that all 4 leds remain off this time, (after #5) tomorrow morning I'm going to borrow another PC to test the GPU. BTW monitor was tested with a PS4 and works fine.
